Brief mention of Amiga in Forbes article

According to Gamasutra.com...

Adoption of next-generation chips is always a challenge, the article notes with examples such as the Amiga and Trilogy Ltd., but notes that the Cell will find its way into homes via the PlayStation 3 as well as some Toshiba HDTVs.

In the early 1980s the chip in the Amiga home computer far outraced those in the Intel line, but Intel conquered the market anyway.


What a nonsense comment.  The advantages of the Amiga were nothing to do with the 68000 - it was the custom chips that gave the Amiga the advantage.

Clueless journalists...

You really don't have to be completely on track to be a writer for a big publication.  Just as long as you don't write complete blantant lies, you can continue to work there.

If you start, then you have to move over to the New York Times (yes the Weekly World News and Enquirer don't print lies, they have more taste)
